A "Counter-Intuitive" Renovation to This 1930s London Flat Made Room for a Cozier Family Life

Two white accent chairs in the modern living room of a renovated west London flat.

"When I first saw this space, it all already contained several moments of joy, from architectural details to the way the light streamed through the living room windows," says interior designer Anna Møller. "My job was to enhance them. It was all about creating rich, cosy spaces that expressed a tension between graphic lines and soft, sinuous curves."

Anna’s client for this modern home, a family of four, already lived in the 1930s building and jumped at the chance to upgrade to a home with a more generous footprint. "We wanted a space where we could all eat together, a separate TV room for laidback movie watching and two bathrooms so as to avoid traffic jams in the mornings," says one of the clients, a fashion designer. "We knew we could do something clever by rationalising the layout and were drawn to the simplicity and honesty of Anna’s work."
